Life has been good lately

1. I got an Iphone!!!!! I am so excited and totally obsessed now. (if anyone knows how to load pictures from my phone directly to my blog, please let me know cause that would be awesome!).
2. I lost 1 pound. So not alot but I am pretty excited. Goal for the Fall... lose 10 pounds by the end of October. I bought a pattern for a beautiful dress that I want to make and wear to my husbands work Christmas party, but not untill I get my butt and specifically my back, shape!
3. Went to Art Prize with my family, that was fun lots of cool things to see.
4. Made, painted, baked fall cookies with the family. I love Fall/Winter activities. (also found out my great grandma had a beer cookie cutter, love it!
5. I am seriously considering selling crafts at a craft show. I hope to sell a lot but I figure if I can go to the least expensive one and see how it goes, I may have a new way to make some extra spending cash. Which would be fantastic!

So yes, it was a very excited past few days for me. :)

It's Friday!

It's Friday! Yay!!

This week felt like a very long week, but a good one. I actually enjoyed my job this week, got one step closser to having the webpage I want and went to the gym twice! (Yes I skipped today and instead fell back asleep on the couch :/ ) Oh well I went twice and that is better than none. I had a girls night/day with my mom this week.
Next week is my last easy week for about 9 months. I start back up at the studio in a week! I am excited to start the new year, I kinda got promoted! I got a few competition classes and competition technique classes and the majority of my recreational kids are older! This is a big deal :) . So I will be back to working crazy hours and still trying to fit time in to build my business (www.kathryndevents.wordpress.com) and keep a clean house and food on the table. But thats okay cause a normal job would not make me happy.

That's all for now...

Oh My Goodness! I almost forgot my almost most exciting news...I am getting an Iphone!!!!!! I am soo excited! I have saved for the cost of the actual phone and am looking into the monthly bill and then other boring details with my business, but then! I am getting an Iphone!!!!! YAY!!!! I can't wait, can you tell :)

I went to the gym today!

My goal is to loose 15 pounds by december according to my ipod that is 1 pound per week. If I get my but to the gym three days a week and watch what I eat, I should be able to reach my goal. Step one is over, just getting to the gym again. Now to keep it up.

Goodbye to my little bro

My baby brother is going away to school at the end of the week. I don't think I like this... He is going way up north and we probably won't see him until Thanksgiving. So now I have one brother four states away and one eleven hours away. Yup definitely don't like this. Thank goodness for skype.

Praying for my grandpa who has  cancer. The doctors first thought it was just pre-cancerous but after getting in to look at it, they found that it was cancer. Praying they caught it soon enough and will get rid of it.

Also found out my husband's cousin has cancer and it is in the life threatening stages. Praying his doctors can treat it.

Time to get commited....

to working out.

I am stating my goal of 20 pounds to loose. I have a gym membership, brazillian booty workout, a ballet barre workout, and zumba on the wii and time.

That was the start of my post yesterday...yeah, so I didn't finish my post or get up this morning to go to the gym. I need MOTIVATION!!! I will start this. It may take time, but I will start it.

Starting again...

I did not prove to be a very good blogger. Considering it has been almost a year since my last post. I am going to try this blogging thing again. But this time it will be more of a way to get my thoughts out. Sometimes I want to say something or show something but facebook isn't always the answer. So here we go again.

A few things I am going to try to write about are fitness, crafting, events, friends and family, marriage, and really whatever else I feel like saying.

Hopefully along the way I can gain some readers but if not I will remember that this is more for me as a type of therapy/calming way to get all my thoughts written down.

So here we go...starting again...

Fall: Rainy Days

Rainy Fall Day...

Today has been a rainy cold fall day. I like rainy days but today I'm not feeling it.

I have been very productive with the weather as it is though. I got up at a decent time, clipped coupons, went grocery shopping, cleaned up the house, made bread, and worked a bit from home.

As a firm believer that it is never too early to listen to Christmas music, its just a matter of listening to it in public prior to halloween, I have had it playing all day. It has been wonderful!  

I am now in the basement at my craft area listening to my Pandora Christmas station pretending the cold rain outside is really snow :)

I hope you are all staying warm and enjoying all the joys of fall!
